Tom Brady’s life hasn’t slowed down since he retired from football, as he is now settling into his life as an NFL broadcaster at Fox Sports. It’s been a busy few years for him, as he went through a divorce with his wife of 16 years Gisele Bundchen as his long football career came to a close.

But the former star quarterback is still managing to find time for his three kids, Benjamin, Jack and Vivian.

The former New England Patriots quarterback confessed to E! News: “I love those little kiddos more than anything,” adding: “I love spending time with them. They’re the best part of every day of mine.”

“They light up our lives in so many ways,” he continued. “They teach us a lot. They teach us to really be present with them.”

Amid his career change, Tom has maintained that his kids are a significant part of his life, as PageSix reported he said: “I got a lot of things that keep me busy, but still trying to be a great dad and be there for my kids. All the parents out there know that it’s a challenge to be a good parent.”

He teased: “All the kids I hope you appreciate your parents too! Because there’s a lot of work they put into making your life a little easier.”

Tom may be incredibly busy with his new career, but he managed to take a moment to celebrate his son Jack turning 17.

The dad-of-three shared a number of photos on Instagram, captioning the loving post: “Happy 17th birthday to the kindest, sweetest, most thoughtful 17-year-old, I know. You are truly a blessing in my life and I am so grateful to watch you mature into a young man.”

Your love of family, friends, school, athletics, hard work and dedication to everything you put your energy into are just some of your amazing qualities. I love spending every minute with you and I cherish our time together,” he continued.

He then alluded to his son’s athletic prowess, as he teased: “Those are all my favorite things about you. My least favorite is that you can beat me in one on one now.”
